about volcanoes and butterflies

about volcanoes and butterflies

Theory of causation states that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a volcano to erupt
I used to always think that was nonsense,
Until now.

I used to feel like a rock
Three, four years ago, I felt like a rock
A small, insignificant rock
Cast out into the ocean and buried deep underwater.
I believed I wouldn’t amount to anything great
I would always appear blurred by water, crushed by waves, miles from sunlight
Because I was just me. And I wasn’t anything special.
I never imagined myself feeling good or content with who I am.
I never thought that was possible for a rock.

But volcanoes are rocks.
Volcanoes erupt when magma from deep within pushes itself to the surface.
For years I kept that magma deeply buried.
And today,
Today I feel like a volcano erupting.
And you,
You’re the butterfly that flapped its wings, so unaware of the volcano you would set off

CAUSE, AND EFFECT. " The heat of metamorphosis, versus the " quick change " ( from crysalis to " flutter-by " short-round ) !! Do you feel the excess of substantial expenditure of the hottest process, or do you refine the " Speed " growth, of emotional investment. Above passionate definition ? No " Bullock's " intended. When, you sense the " stake " rather than the " make " or " take " !! Live, for " MORE " !!  :) :) Eat the feast, from lifestyles " truck-stop " sharing " stories " with " Die Hard " explorers, having want of experiences. " Sum " out of natural kaleidoscopic " Spectre "  manifestation....with full involvement giving all lessons a lift !!  :) I feel the intensity, even from, here.
LEAVE ASSUMPTION...AT THE DOOR. Try, it, both ways. Value considered. For, the " good " of you, and yours. Who wish to see you, " SHINE " !!
Must love you and leave you...wherever you find yourself. To, raise the bar, and the " jar " for achievements sake. Nice responsive inter-action with physical transformation, showing " what you are all about !! " TAKE CARE.
